jun 17, 1548 - Rapprochement entre la Shabiya et Moulay Hassan

Description:

Charles Monchicourt, an official in the French colonial government, who avidly pursued Tunisian history and archeology. He published the ground plan of the mosque and mausoleum of Sidi Abid in Kairouan, indicating the site of Muley al-Hassan’s tombstone15. In addition, he included a drawing of the engraved, stylized turban found on the slab. Monchicourt went on to document the hitherto unexpected alliance between Mohammed Abu Taieb of Kairouan and Muley al-Hassan, despite the historic enmity between the two regencies. And he placed this rapprochement in the years 1547-1550.
